News...or No News

I know a lot of you have been wondering...

I went to the doctor last week on Thursday and was not dilated at all. He said the induction for this week wouldn't be a good idea. But, since I don't give up that easily, I scheduled my appt this week for today instead of my usual Thursday. I was actually kind of optimistic that I would be dilated and he would schedule me for tonight because on Friday night I felt the baby drop into my pelvis. Then on Saturday night, I was having mild contractions all night. They sort of tapered off on Sunday, though, but I still had them off and on sporadically for days. Well, when I went to the doc today, I was actually starting to dilate, but just barely (not quite 1cm). He said he still didn't feel comfortable with induction, so alas, there is no induction scheduled for tonight or tomorrow. He did try to "help" me along up there when he checked me, but I don't think the chances of having a 9/9/09 baby are looking very good. I am a little disappointed, but I am also kind of relieved about not being induced, because I really prefer to just go into labor on my own.

So, we'll see! I am still having contractions, so you just never know. Like my doctor says, it could be tonight, or it could be two weeks from now. I'll keep you all posted.
